 BY JOHN BRESNAHAN, ANNA PALMER AND JAKE SHERMAN Happy Friday, and we hope you’ve enjoyed your holiday-shortened week. A few notes from us: → Join us for The Lookahead on Sunday — we’ll have a revamped look and feel. We are excited to have CNN’s Phil Mattingly join us on Sunday at 6 p.m. Register here. → Thanks to all who attended our brown bag lunch yesterday. We appreciated the incisive questions. We’re fortunate to have such engaged premium members. → We’ll be back to three editions each day beginning Monday — so look out for Midday and PM in your inboxes next week. We have a lot of news to report and avenues to explore in this wild legislative climate. → As we promised this morning, we have your weekly edition of the Power Matrix below, just for premium members. Enjoy! THE POWER MATRIX  |
